Benefits of technology
Enables efficient shipment and easy positioning of loaded product displays at retail outlets with reduced personnel time and effort, as the wheels allow for easy movement once the display is unloaded from the pallet, eliminating the need for extensive assembly and manual handling.
Problems solved by technology
These types of displays require a significant amount of personnel time by workers at the retail outlet to both assemble the display and load the display with product.
For large retail outlets, the time required to load and / or build the display is either unacceptable or, at a minimum, undesirable.
Since the display is loaded with product, the weight of the loaded display makes manual movement of the display to a desired location at the retail outlet difficult.

A combination mobile display and shipping device that allows product to be loaded onto the mobile display such that the display can be shipped in a loaded condition. The mobile display includes a product display and a support platform having a plurality of wheels mounted to the bottom surface of the support platform. When the mobile display is received at a retail location, the mobile display can be moved to a desired position through the rolling movement of the plurality of wheels. During shipment, the support platform is securely attached to a shipping pallet designed such that the plurality of wheels are suspended above the ground surface to prevent the rolling movement of the mobile display during shipment. After shipment, the support platform and shipping pallet are separated such that the mobile display can be rolled into a desired location with the product loaded on the display rack.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to a mobile display and a device for shipping the display. More specifically, the present invention relates to a combination mobile display and shipping device in which a support platform of the mobile display is securely connected to a shipping pallet during shipment such that the shipping pallet prevents movement of the mobile display during the shipping process.[0002]Manufacturers of consumer products oftentimes develop unique product displays, which may include display racks for displaying products in retail outlets. The product displays include the product being sold and are visually appealing to attract consumer attention. Many times, the product displays are shipped to the retail outlet in a broken down, unloaded condition, which requires the display to be assembled at the retail outlet and loaded with product at the retail outlet. These types of displays require a significant amount of personnel time by...
